Early Tester... cruel evap?

28 replies

RDev1990 · 22/09/2024 18:45

Title says it all! Early tester after having miscarriage, we are desperately ready for our first baby. I'm around 8/9DPO so very early. Is this a cruel evap line? I can see a bit of colour on the bottom but could this just be a bit of dye catching?
I had horrendous cramping 2 days ago, nausea and headaches but this has happened on previous cycles (not as strong) and I wasn't pregnant for those.

Anyway.. let me know what you think and keen to connect with those trying over the last part of this year. If this month isn't ours then hope I can make some company here on the horrendous 2 week waits x

Included my ovulation test just to show where the line would fall on my HCG test 🤣

Hey! I can deffo see a shadow of a line but you’re still very early days!! I’d recommend taking another test in a few days with fmu and see the result. Keep this thread posted if you can!’🤞🤞✨✨

Thank you so much for replying. Every 2 week wait feels quite lonely at the moment. So it's good to just chat it out 😁 I will keep the thread updated. ❤️ xx

Ah same to you!! I was really good for a while where I wasn't even thinking about symptoms or the two week waits but I was so distracted by other things but now those distractions have gone, here I am again 🤣 the pains I felt this week were really quite bad in my lower abdomen and it was definitely around 6/7dpo. I was walking bent over 🤣 but they've gone today and I feel fine. Our bodies are a mystery aye? Xx

Just to update you, I think it was a bit of runny dye yesterday. Tested with FMU and it's stark white. It's still early so will wait for AF due day :-) I'll keep the thread updated in case anyone is going through the same thing x

I’m not sure if it’s just the photo quality (not your fault) but I think I can see a very faint line on both of those tests. Again, you’re still early days! Are you maybe able to pop out today and get a different brand of pregnancy tests and see the result? Also sometimes second morning urine can be more effective (unsure why😂) so maybe try again lovely!🤞✨

Ah you are so lovely 🥹 I think it may be the photo quality as its really white in person. Even my willing line eyes can't catch anything 🤣 I'll have to wait for Friday (payday) to get another test. So if I am pregnant it would 100% show by then. How are you doing lovely? X

Yeah by Friday the test will be 100% accurate for sure. It’s so hard not to get disheartened during this process isn’t it! But my fingers are crossed for you🤞🤞 I’m okay thank you, only 3dpo roughly today so I’m going to hold back and test this time next week which will make me around 10dpo but I’m not 100% sure when I ovulated so we shall see😂!x

It's one of the hardest things ever 🤣 nobody ever tells you it will be this hard 🥲 you learn about how babies are made in school and the fear of life gets put into you about getting preggers. So you assume from early on that it's REALLY easy to get pregnant and it's really not 🤣
I didn't even realise how devastatingly common it was to have a miscarriage until I had my own. It's been really eye opening.
Ah that's a good plan! ❤️ keep me updated.
I'm going to try and keep this thread alive until there's a BFP 🤣 xx

I know what you mean, bless you. I’m so sorry about your miscarriage, it is scary how common they are, but thankfully we have websites like this so nobody feels alone!

i will keep you updated, yes that’s such a good idea. You’ve got this💪🏻💪🏻❤️

Exactly! Trying to conceive is also such a private thing, it's not something you share with family/friends or even your partner because you want them all to have the lovely surprise when it does happen 🤣 so this outlet is literally a lifesaver! Really happy to be connected with you ❤️ WE have got this, you're right xx

The original picture looks like some dye has come from the ovulation test onto the hgc test. The dye transfers to easily. Just because it’s half a line- had plenty of these getting my hopes up and then made this realisation

Ah thank you so much for your message! That's likely what it is. I'll wait until Friday and see how it goes. Feeling rotten today but may also be coming down with something so let's see!! :-) thank you again! Xx

Just a little update... I could not feel more nauseous today. 🤢 I don't know if it's a bug or early pregnancy. Had mild cramping all day yesterday. I do try not to symptom spot but I haven't had a month like this in a long time. I may pick up a FRER to do tomorrow. Then it would be 4 days before my AF is due.

Ah that’s not great you’re feeling ill! I do hope that you feel better very soon. Yeah maybe go and get a test and see the result, fingers are so crossed for you for a big positive result! but am very sorry you’re feeling rough🤦🏻‍♀️🤞✨❤️

Thank you lovely! I feel really off today. If it's not early pregnancy, this is one rotten build up to my AF 🤣
Cramps, nausea, acne on my tummy (which I've never had before in my life!), a stitch type pain in my lower tummy, dizziness 🫠 I'm exhausted!!! Hormones can be so cruel! 😅 how are you doing today? Xx

OP posts:
RDev1990 · 24/09/2024 21:06

Keeping the thread updated for future readers as promised 🤣 I couldn't wait until tomorrow.. A definite BFN this evening! So I suspect I have a bit of a tummy bug.. AF due next Monday. :-) will keep the thread updated until then ❤️

Keeping the thread updated.

I think I'm either 11 or 12dpo. AF due Monday. It's Thursday today.

I've been plagued with symptoms that I don't usually experience as strong or some symptoms at all before AF. Nausea, shooting pains in my bust, cramps (I don't normally get AF cramps until the day of or day before), dizzy spells and really terrible nausea. The only tests I have available to me are superdrugs only early tests which have the worst reviews I've ever read 😅 these are showing as negative.

I'm really not sure if I'm just unwell or in tune to changes in my body linked to something happening (even if at a slow rate). I'm determined to keep this thread updated though as I've read too many that have helped in the past but I never know the outcome. So whether I get negative or positive over the next few days, the outcome will be popped here in the thread! :-)

I think you start noticing every twinge when ttc
if I get a negative at 11dpo I assume im out.
hope you get your bfp soon 🤞🏻

I totally agree! However, it has been a super long road so far and I've not had a month like this. Only when we conceived before but we sadly lost the pregnancy. I had my BFP quite late on that occasion too 🥹 it's been a crazy week of feeling totally sickly and the stabbing pains here there and everywhere 🤣 open to all possibilities at the moment, maybe my hormones are just raaaging this month without there being a happy ending haha. Will keep the thread updated though, AF is due on Monday!!

OP posts:
RDev1990 · 28/09/2024 13:06

Another negative today. With two days to go until my AF, I think it's safe to say I'm out. How crazy that it's been such an intense two weeks compared to previous months. 😭😭 gonna have a little tear and brush myself off ❤️

Sorry to hear that. I’ve realised I don’t have 2 cycles the same now that I’m concentrating on them, I guess it’s all about the exact balance of hormones through the luteal phase determines the symptoms we have or lack of symptoms.
hope to see your bfp soon

RDev1990 · 30/09/2024 19:59

Keeping the thread updated. AF was due today, it hasn't come as of yet. My AF usually varies between 26 - 28 days. I'm usually always on by CD28 (which is today). I'm having some mild cramps at the mo, so perhaps she is on the way!
